If you parse this Yaml ...
yes: 'Totally'
no: 'Nope'
... you get this Ruby hash:
{ true: 'Totally',
false: 'Nope' }
In order to use the strings 'yes' and 'no' as keys, you need to wrap them with quotes:
'yes': 'Totally'
'no': 'Nope'
There's actually a long list of reserved words with this behavior:
y|Y|yes|Yes|YES|n|N|no|No|NO
|true|True|TRUE|false|False|FALSE
|on|On|ON|off|Off|OFF
I'm sorry.
You are probably using Ruby 1.8.7 with a too recent versions of Rubygems.
Downgrade your Rubygems to the latest version that works with 1.8.7.
If you get this error when you try to resize an OpenStack instance:
# nova resize example 23 --poll
ERROR: Resize requires a change in size. (HTTP 400)
You need to change your flavor to have a different memory size. It's a bug in an older OpenStack version:
# /nova/compute/api.py
if (current_memory_mb == new_memory_mb) and flavor_id:
raise exception.CannotResizeToSameSize()

There are 3 built-in file descriptors: stdin, stdout and stderr (std=standard). (You can define your own, see the linked article.)

Rails 4:
config.action_controller.action_on_unpermitted_parameters enables logging or raising an exception if parameters that are not explicitly permitted are found. Set to :log or :raise to enable. The default value is :log in development and test environments, and false in all other environments.
Rails 3:
If you include the strong_params gem, see the Readme for handling unpermitted keys.
quiet_assets helps with disabling asset pipeline log messages in the development log. When the gem is added, asset pipeline logs are suppressed by default.
If you want to disable muting temporarily, add config.quiet_assets = false to your config/application.rb.
When using @media CSS queries, Internet Explorer 8 and below will fail to respect them.
Though there are several options (like mediatizr and css3-mediaqueries), Respond.js was the only one that worked for me.
If you do not want to pollute your application's default JS file with Respond.js, simply:
Create an extra JS file (like media_queries_polyfill.js) that loads Respond.js:
//= require respond-1.4.2
Make sure it's added to config.assets.precompile
Embed that JS fi...
Cucumber_rails' old-school web-steps have been deprecated for a while, urging developers to write high-level step definitions that directly use Capybara or Webrat.
We think that's a bit drastic. More high-level steps are good, but ticking the odd check box with a general step is not always bad.
So we took the old web steps, improved them a bit, added some other favorites of ours (steps for emails, tables, [time travelling](/ma...
If you once had HTTP Strict Transport Security enabled for a domain, and you want to disable it again, you need to send this header over a secure connection:
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=0;
The next time a browser visits your site, it will forget that it was once flagged as HTTPS-only.
Should you need to remove the HSTS flag from your local browser (e.g. for debugging), you can do so in Chrome by accessing [chrome://net-internals/#hsts](chrome://net-internals/#hs...
Edge Rider gives your relations a method #origin_class that returns the class the relation is based on.
This is useful e.g. to perform unscoped record look-up.
Post.recent.origin_class
# => Post
Note that #origin_class it roughly equivalent to the blockless form of #unscoped from Rails 3.2+, but it works consistently across all Rails versions. #unscoped does not exist for Rails 2 and is broken in Rails 3.0.
React.js is a relatively new Javascript templating engine that has two-way-bindings like AngularJS or Batman. The interesting idea here is that React keeps a virtual copy of the DOM tree in memory, and when you re-render, it only changes the DOM as little as required. That means if you re-render a list with 1000 items, and only one item has changed, the browser-DOM will only remove and add a single element instead of 1000 elements. This makes React.js views insanely fast.
The attached article proposes that React.js is so fast that you don...
Spring is a Rails application preloader. When debugging e.g. the rails gem, you'll be wondering why your raise, puts or debugger debugging statements have no effect. That's because Spring preloads and caches your application once and all consecutive calls to it will not see any changes in your debugged gem.
Disable spring with export DISABLE_SPRING=1 in your terminal. That will keep Spring at bay in that terminal session.
In Ruby, [you can only write environment variables that subproc...
MenuetOS is an Operating System in development for the PC written entirely in 32/64 bit assembly language. Menuet64 is released under License and Menuet32 under GPL. Menuet supports 32/64 bit x86 assembly programming for smaller, faster and less resource hungry applications.
Programatically invoke Rails generators
: Require the generator, instantiate it and invoke it (because generators are Thor::Groups, you need to invoke them with invoke_all). Example:
require 'generators/wheelie/haml/haml_generator'
Generators::HamlGenerator.new('argument').invoke_all
Other ways: Rails invokes its generators with Rails::Generators.invoke ARGV.shift, ARGV. From inside a Rails generator, you may call the [inherited Thor method invoke(args=[], options={}, config={})](https://github....
docopt helps you define interface for your command-line app, and automatically generate parser for it.
docopt is based on conventions that are used for decades in help messages and man pages for program interface description. Interface description in docopt is such a help message, but formalized. Here is an example:
Naval Fate.
Usage:
naval_fate ship new <name>...
naval_fate ship <name> move <x> <y> [--speed=<kn>]
naval_fate ship shoot <x> <y>
naval_fate mine (set|remove) <x> <y> [--moored|--drifting]
naval_fate -h |...

When you want the table headers to always stay around (e.g. because that table is huuuge), use the code below.
table.fixed_table_header{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: auto;
display: none;
border: none;
margin: 0;
}
;(function($) {
$.fn.fixHeader = function() {
return this.each(function() {
var $table = $(this),
$t_fixed;
function init() {
$t_fixed = $table.clone();
$t_fixed.find('tbody').remove().end().addClass('fi...
If you want to label things with a color but don't actually care which cholor, you can use the attached Colorizer class.
To get a completely random color (some of which will clash with your design):
Colorizer.colorize(some_object) # => "#bb4faa"
To get similiar colors (e. g. bright, pale colors of different hues):
# random hue, saturation of 0.5, lightness of 0.6
Colorizer.colorize_similarly(some_object, 0.5, 0.6) # => "#bbaaaa"
Also see the color gem.
So you have a restangular collection and you want to remove an element from it, after you've successfully deleted it from the server.
The README suggests to say something like $scope.users = _.without($scope.users, user). While that works at first glance (the element is no longer in your collection), it will break horribly when you want to use restangular's attributes on that collection.
This...
With this command you can initiate an application restart without touching restart.txt. Unlike touching restart.txt, this tool initiates the restart immediately instead of on the next request. http://blog.phusion.nl/2014/01/02/phusion-passenger-4-0-33-released/
If you want to use this with capistrano 2.x just replace the touch command:
- run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
+ run "passenger-config restart-app --ignore-app-not-running #{deploy_to}...
If you regularly get ActionView::MissingTemplate exceptions, maybe some bot visits your site requesting silly formats like:
http://www.rails-app.com/makandra.html-username-2000 # => Rails tries to retrieve 'makandra' with format 'html-username-2000'
Just restrict accepted format parameters for the whole application like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :refuse_silly_formats
private
def refuse_silly_formats
acceptable_formats = %w[html xml pdf]

List of variables used in Bootstrap. Overwrite to customize your bootstrap application.
When you are using bootstrap-sass, simply replace @ by $.
If you are using Angular and want something like Rails' simple_format which HTML-formats a plain-text input into paragraphs and line breaks, this directive is for you.
Any HTML fragments inside that text will still be escaped properly.
Use it like this, where your text attribute specifies something available in your current scope:
<simple-format text="email.message"></simple-format>
This is the directive, in CoffeeScript syntax:
@app.directive 'simpleFor...
Now you can say:
